I am thrilled to welcome you to my blog. I am writing this for the couples who I work with - present, past and future. They all have a place in my heart and I welcome being on the journey with them. My goal for this blog is to teach you a little about some of the predictable patterns and dynamics that take place in marriage and hopefully provide some help that can strengthen your marriage.

Esther Perel: The secret to desire in a long-term relationship

Okay, so this is 19 minutes...but a really great investment if you want to learn about how to keep sex alive in the familiarity of marriage. Can't believe that I am finally reading her book Mating in Captivity. Foreplay is not something you do five minutes before the real thing...Responsibility and desire butt heads... Passionate couples have demystified the myth of spontaneity...committed sex is premeditated sex,it's focused and intentional...If you have been married more then five days, this is totally worth watching.

Thank you for sharing this video! As cliche as it sounds, I think a healthy sexual relationship is one of the most important parts of marriage. It is often overlooked. My wife and I received some counseling for it and it really empowered our relationship! http://familytherapyvacations.com/clinical-program.html
